Would you guys recommend buying one? Or would you just get a used one? My technician says it's better getting a used one than a rebuilt one but I'm asking for opinions here what do you guys say??

I'd trust a used unopened tranny any day over a "rebuilt" tranny.

I think the only thing to worry about with getting a used transmission would be the seller being truthful about the condition of the transmission that they are selling.

yeah I'd be more worried depending on who built it, or where it was built, what parts used. But on a used one not rebuilt you worry about grinding and how beat up it was and et.

It's a loose loose situation

if you have a trusted mechanic to bring it to to get rebuilt, than do that. But if you are buying it used, who knows how much abuse is on it. And if you are buying a used rebuilt tranny, who knows who rebuilt it. I would find a trusted mechanic and then have them rebuild it....just me though.

depending on your budget, goal, and time situation. If you're not in a hurry, do some research/shopping and find ones w/ low miles from newer years(anything with high miles would def. need clutch/flywheel replaced and that may be very costly). But if you need something asap, as others mentioned above, finding someone trustworthy would def. be plus!, especially if you need a quick job. GL.

I would say it depends on if its a daily driver or not. If you have to drive it everyday, then buy a used one and have it rebuilt by a shop thats been around for more than 10 years. Otherwise send the one you've got to a good shop.

These are two excellent places to get your transmissions reworked/rebuilt. They do individual gears, complete straight cut gears..pretty much any option you would want. They do a great job.

its really a loose loose situation... who built it, what parts were used... then you got how badly the person abuse the used tranny, which gears does it grind...

Either or is taking a chance!

lol wut?

Last I checked, this isn't part of the transmission.

Part of the drivetrain, yes, but definitely not inside the transmission. lulz

Honda remanufactured transmissions have a 3 year 36000 mile warranty and they are not that expensive compared to some of the others sold out there

Def something to look at

Ll the guy installed new parts into it a cr-v final drive a KAAZ Lsd and brand new synchros 1st-3rd he raplaced the whole 1st and 2nd and the 3rd just the synchro he also told me he would have no problem letting me talk to the guy who rebuilt it and also said he would gladly write in paper if something is wrong with I would get a full refund.

Tell the seller you want him to open the case and take pictures of the new parts to verify

Most likely the people that rebuilt it did not use factory Honda parts. So therefore the internals are probably not as good as a factory set up.

I would probably go used before rebuilt and used would be cheaper too!

Hes From Honda-tech he told me some guy from honda-tech built it but im gonna see it in person just hope it runs as good as it sounds
